TV Bites: Lee Pace Finds Life After Daisies

· Good news, Pushing Daisies fans: Lee Pace has scored an HBO drama project that you could be watching within the next year. The pilot, which will be directed by Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow, centers on a "New York family as seen through the eyes of a charismatic, self-destructive Broadway composer (played by Tony winner Eddie Redmayne)." Pace and Redmayne will star opposite Hope Davis, Frank Langella, Patti LuPone and as of yesterday, Law & Order alum Linus Roache. [EW]
